 WRV is looking for volunteers willing to lend first aid support on
our projects. Taking this valuable course will give you the skills to
step up and help care for your fellow friends and volunteers!



Interested in Wilderness First Aid?


Ever think about what you would do if someone needed your help in the
back country? This course will provide people with the basic knowledge
and skills necessary to care for those who are injured or suddenly ill
in remote locations. You will receive hands-on practice time and
participate in first aid scenarios that will sharpen your first aid
skills and give you a chance to practice real life situations.

This course is designed for volunteers who commit to use these skills
on WRV projects this season.  Scholarships are only available to
current volunteers who will be registering for projects this season.




Two courses are offered:
2-day Course (8 hours): Tuesday and Wednesday, April 10 - 11, 5:30pm -
9:30pm

This 8 hour course is separated into two 4 hour sessions (April 10th
and 11th) and includes classroom instruction, demonstrations, skills
practice, the use of audio/visual materials, and student
participation.
3-day Day Course (16 hours): Tuesday and Wednesday, April 10 - 11,
5:30pm - 9:30pm, AND Sunday, April 15, 9:00am - 5:00pm

This 16 hour course consists of classroom sessions (April 10th and
11th) and a field session (April 15th) to practice your newly acquired
skills in real world scenarios.

Please Note: CPR instruction is not part of this Wilderness First Aid
course. Individuals in remote locations needing CPR are rarely
resuscitated. Some CPR issues are discussed such as when to give
prolonged CPR, when not to start CPR, and when to stop CPR.  You may
find CPR instruction through other organizations, like the Red Cross.



We HIGHLY encourage taking the full 16 hrs if your schedule permits.
